Kentucky’s Civil War battlefields are in need of some spring cleaning.
The Civil War Trust, a national non-profit, is looking for volunteers to help clean and restore ten landmarks in Kentucky on Saturday.
"People do everything from picking up trash, lawn work, and minor repairs," said Meg Martin, communications manager for The Civil War Trust. "They might clean signs, clear trails, things that will allow the sites to be better interpreted and provide better educational and recreational opportunities for the parks."
April 2 is Park Day, a nationwide cleanup effort that includes historic sites in 29 states. The ten sites in Kentucky include:
Battle for the Bridge Historic Preserve, Munfordville, 10:00 a.m.
Battle of Richmond, Richmond, 10:00 a.m. . (This Park Day site is holding its event on Saturday, April 9, 2016.)
